HomeVillages › Pozo de los Frailes

Pozo de los Frailes is a small village on the road connecting Níjar with San José, known for its Arab waterwheel —one of the best preserved in Andalusia— and for being a common stop between the interior and the coast.

The village has some restaurants appreciated by locals, a quiet rural neighborhood atmosphere, and that intimate scale that the small inland centers of the municipality effortlessly retain.
